Hi,
We've been getting reports from 1Password users that when using Wavebox, the extension is reporting that Chrome is out of date. This only appears on the Windows version. The exact error messag...

3 years agoThanks for your reply @Thomas8520. We don't currently have a timeframe to share regarding when the custom browsers feature will make it to the other platforms.
For Windows users, the Beta channel will continue to be the go-to method for the time being.
On the other hand, Linux users can use any release of 1Password and manually add Wavebox to a custom_allowed_browsers file. Here are some example steps:
1. Ensure that 1Password for Linux is installed along with 1Password in your browser, and that browser integration is enabled from Settings → Browser.
2. Close 1Password completely.
3. Open a terminal, and run `sudo mkdir /etc/1password` (if you've done this already, you can skip it).
4. Run `cd /etc/1password`.
5. Run `sudo gedit custom_allowed_browsers`.
6. Write in the appropriate browser filename- in this case `wavebox`.
7. Save the file.
8. In the terminal, run `sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers && sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers`
9. Run 1Password - it will read the new config file and make the appropriate connections.
10. Launch your browser!
Let me know if you have any further questions.
